Replace fuel system lines & components at dry tort

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Southeast Region is soliciting proposals for replacing fuel system lines and components at Dry Tortugas National Park through solicitation number 140P5425R0014. The project involves replacing damaged utility infrastructure at the Garden Key Waterfront, including diesel delivery lines, gasoline fuel lines, and electrical systems that were damaged by tropical storms in Fall 2024. Contractors must relocate these utilities to higher ground away from the shoreline using new coaxial double-wall piping and install new conduits and electrical connections. The evaluation will be based on technical approach, past performance, and cost, with non-cost factors being significantly more important than price. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for July 15, 2025, and proposals are due by August 4, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET.

This opportunity is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with an estimated project value between $250,000 and $500,000. No current contractor or incumbent is identified in the solicitation documents. The performance period runs from September 1, 2025, to October 15, 2025, with work to be completed within 45 days after contract award. The project location presents unique logistical challenges, as contractors must transport materials and personnel to the remote Dry Tortugas National Park via ferry or seaplane, with limited park housing available for up to six crew members. Work hours are restricted to 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and contractors must prepare for potential hurricane evacuations while adhering to strict environmental compliance guidelines required for work within a national park.
